[QUOTE="6string, post: 1076582, member: 120039"] Ok, you'll have to personalise your mac again after the cleanup, but at least you have your files backed up. The steps are: Boot from install disk holding C Down. Select language, go to utilities>disk uilities in the menu bar. Select the HD on the left at the top of the list, and the erase tab. Name Macintosh HD and format as mac os extended journalled. Click security tab and click zero out once over (this will take around an hour). Once finished, quit utilities, and proceed with installation. Install all the updates with software update. Then just drag your files from the external drive to the relevant folders. Once you are done, if you want to install windows with bootcamp again, you should be good to go. As I'd recommend to anyone, be sure to print out the instructions before proceeding, and follow them to the T :) [/QUOTE]
